Overview Of The Port Of Shanghai

About Shanghai

Shanghai is the largest city by population in the People's Republic of China, in East Asia.

The Bund is a waterfront area in central Shanghai and one of the most famous tourist destinations. Opposite the Bund on the Pudong side, you can take a walk along the boardwalk, for great views across the river and plenty of shops and restaurants.

For a stunning view of the city, visit one of three observation decks at the Shanghai World Financial Center.

Museums include the Shanghai Museum, the History Museum and Madame Tussauds.

Yu Yuan Garden is an extensive Chinese garden located beside the City God Temple in the northeast of the Old City.

Tian Zi Fang is full of narrow little streets with lots of unusual arts, crafts and souvenir shops and nice places to stop for a snack or drink.

The Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower, which stands at 468m high, is opposite The Bund and a distinct landmark in the area. In the tower's three metallic spheres there is a dance hall, rotating restaurant and observation deck.

The Jade Buddha Temple was built in 1928 and houses two precious white jade Buddhist statues.

Local dishes include sweet and sour spare ribs, beggar's chicken and Shanghai fried noodles. Lime and ginger flavoured century egg and tofu are other popular choices as is the local delicacy 'Shanghai hairy crab'.
